The best info you can get is gathered from /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you try 
starting x, and from terminal output.  Use startx from runlevel 3 to gather this:

startx &> startx-output.txt

Get the logs, and post them as well.  You can also get the output of KDM when 
trying to start it manually from the terminal (it may be that X works fine, KDM 
doesn't).
